General Inquiries About Our Histology Products
Our Frequently Asked Questions:
HistologyEquipment.com is the laboratory equipment extension of Mercedes Scientific. Since each order is customized to your needs, you can give us a call or send us an email and we will work with you on the order.

As a part of Mercedes Scientific, histologyequipment.com strives to provide the absolute lowest price while refusing to sacrifice customer service. Our equipment is truly refurbished, and we stand behind it with a full warranty. While you can always find a “cheaper” price for used lab equipment, you won’t find a more thorough or detailed restoration anywhere. It’s important to remember that only a few companies offer truly refurbished histology equipment. And there is a world of difference between fully refurbished equipment and “used” equipment. Most of the time, “cheaper used equipment” will cost you a lot more over time than more “expensive” equipment that is fully refurbished. Our goal is to always be price competitive, and delivering real value is where we excel.
Don’t see what you are looking for? Give us a call. We have a large network of dealers that we work with. We can typically find just about anything. So if it is a current model equipment that is still supported by the manufacturer, we should be able to source it for you.
Yes! Mercedes Scientific is a distributor of laboratory supplies, so we have you covered on just about everything under the sun that you might need for your lab, whether it’s equipment or consumable supplies that you are looking for.
Depending on the manufacturer, the date the equipment was made might not be available. Leica has date stamped most of their equipment (but not all). So if it’s Leica equipment then there is a reasonable chance we can provide that information. Sakura and Thermo did not date stamp most of their equipment, so dates of manufacture for that equipment is only available on a limited basis, if at all.
With just a few exceptions, all of our equipment comes with the same warranty you get if you buy brand new. Typically, that is a one-year part and labor warranty.
Our warranty works like other equipment warranties. It covers equipment failures that are not a result of human error.
Yes, we do take trade-ins on certain current model equipment that is still supported by the manufacturers. You can send us pictures through this website, or email them to equipmentsales@mercedesscientific.com. We’ll review the images and let you know what your trade-in is worth to us.
